Shade with 10 frags!?! PogChamp

Or maybe some people just want to have fun playing in a casual tourney like this. And if it helps to invigorate the comp scene in general then that's an added bonus. Even if its not the "ideal" gamemode you're still showing casuals that this entire scene actually exists. The fact that TFTV seems so reluctant to take some opportunities to gain more exposure to comp TF2 in general when the entire scene is community driven just boggles my mind.

Could you integrate this pic

Welcome to competitive Team Fortress 2, where the drama is bigger than our prize pools.

Ice cold Corona/Sol on a hot day is always the best.

Flatline have my babies...

At the end of the day, all of us are committed to playing a cartoon shooter that we want to play productively and enjoy with our unique perception on what productive means. Some teams/players will want to play against similarly skilled opponents so that there can be nothing to blame for losing but themselves and to result in having closer and more satisfying matches. Some other teams/players will want to keen up and play against higher skilled opponents with a significantly lower chance of having a satisfying outcome, and if they get rolled they can identify their mistakes and what the other team did better etc.etc.

Any competitive esport cannot cater for everyone's needs because every player has their own time window and goals to work with. Some people wanna know how to be the best and others just want to be constantly satisfied and win games all the time against players of a lower skill level. The less regret you have to committing to this game the more of a better player you become overall and the more you'll be satisfied with investing the time in the first place.

In terms of the actual forum topic and the dreamhack situation I couldn't give two shits about what teams are/are not going. This is the second opportunity you have to showcase TF2 at dreamhack to a wider audience so really the actual worst case scenario is that it doesn't happen at all and not because some teams the officially qualified might not attend. As long as the event actually happens the comp scene will still be satisfied anyway. And to quote from Lange...

I think the visuals will be what's going for on this movie. Considering I fucking loved the recent Macbeth movie and the same production team are behind this it can't really be that bad, although who the fuck thought it was a good idea to use Kanye West music for a trailer of a movie like this...

lol Graba :>
